Book Reviews of Virtual Assistant, The Series: Become a Highly Successful, Sought After VA (Virtual Assistant)

Book Review: Somewhat helpful
Summary: 3 Stars

I liked the book in its conception. It did in fact put a lot of things on my to do list that I may have otherwise not known to do. However, I would have liked a more HOW TO approach, for example...the very important part about business licenses, they gave a very brief summary of the different types of licenses, with absolutely no mention of where to get started in acquiring the licensing application, and forms. That part was very difficult for me and it would have been nice to be pointed in the right direction at least. Also, there was a lot of commradery marketing...I noticed that the "real" people testimonials that were giving real experiences and feedback, when I visited their sites, were not as open to assist and offer advise as proposed in the book...a lot of the sites were marketing pages for businesses with no way offered to contact the owners. That was a little discouraging.

Overall, the book touches on very key points to consider in doing your virtual business but it is very general in mentioning those things...anyone who gets this book should be prepared to do a lot of internet research, and spend time at the library because all of the must know information is elsewhere.
